Poupelle of Chimney Town is the story of young Lubicchi living among the thick smoke from the chimneys of his isolated town, yearning to see the "stars" — to know the truth — his father always told him about. One Halloween night he meets Poupelle, a man made of garbage, and together they look to the sky as their adventure begins. Spectacularly beautiful, filled with inspiring performances and splendid music and sound effects, and produced at Tokyo's famed STUDIO4ºC, Poupelle of Chimney Town brings laughter, tears and joy. "A high-energy believe-in-yourself adventure and a fantastical social fable all rolled into one." – Peter Debruge, Variety "Richly animated and surprisingly touching, 'Poupelle' is a gem." – Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News "It's an aspirational and inspirational tale of daring to reach for the stars." – Richard Whittaker, Austin Chronicle "Japanese animator Yusuke Hirota's steampunk directorial debut is a moving, accessible tribute to legacy, nature, and unexpected friendships." – Sandie Angulo Chen, Common Sense Media
